Full normalization or beautiful art? The Israeli musician's performance in Jordan has sparked outrage and anger among Arab browsers in social networking sites
Last week, Israeli singer of Yemeni origin, Tzion Golan, was invited to perform in Jordan with the Yemeni singer Hussein Moheb. However, although the show was admired by the public, it angered social networking sites.
Ghulan sang with the singer Hussein Moheb at the wedding of the son of the Yemeni politician, Salim Moktasa, who was in Amman and received a warm reception. But shortly after the wedding was published, there was a heated debate in social networking sites in which many Yemeni and Jordanian commentators expressed anger at the Israeli musician's performance, claiming that the move reflected a refusal to normalize relations with Israel.
"There is a difference between a Yemeni Jewish artist and an Israeli artist of Yemeni origin. The Yemeni Jew or the Arab is an Arab citizen, but the Israeli of any origin remains Israeli and serves Israel, especially if he is born there. Israeli conflict and not with the Arab Jews, "she wrote in Yemen on Facebook.
"Any Yemeni who is a criminal, dancing, singing, participating, attending or attending the concert hosted by Hussein Moheb and Zayoun Gulan will be prosecuted and collected and will be brought through Interpol."
The heated debate in the social networking sites included other views of browsers claiming that the talk was about a work of art and prohibited the introduction of politics in it. "A picture of the artist Hussein Moheb and artist Zeon Golan is one of the most beautiful images that appeared recently on Facebook because it brings together artists from one country differ in religion. Sabah al-Taawish, "she wrote in Twitter.
Another browser wrote: "I do not know how important this uproar is about the Jewish artist Zion Golan. What I understand well that this artist loves the soil of Yemen and the limit of madness and has a loyalty to the country more than some of its children. If I met him I would not hesitate to put my hand in his hand. "
Golan said the singer Hussein Moheb invited him to participate, adding: "When I entered the room, Hussein saw me and hugged me very much. We sang together the most famous songs and all the audience sang with us. I was very happy to make a concert at that concert, and with an audience where there was no Jew. I sung the song "Peace Peace" and in the atmosphere that prevailed I felt that I could make peace.
